Ok I dont know what to think

At our school where I use to work, you couldn't do anything in dressing or with your hair that would cause any commotion or be overnoticed but we did have one girl that would dress in her own style that everybody laughed at. But to me she always looks so nice and I admired her for not caring that people laughed at her or cared what anyone thought of her.

Some people just dance to a different beat and I admired her for doing her own "dance".

We didn't have any animals, but we had our share of punks and pirates. I'd be concerned about the scratching, come on you're in high school, scratching somebody is a little off.

Are you guys talking about having these experiences in grade or middle school? This is high school you just DONT act like that lol.

[IRescue452]

There are plenty of high schoolers who act like this. Its immature and I always thought it reflected some on the family. One girl I was friends with who dressed in black punk stuff everyday was a twin and got the same good grades as her sister but was the left out one in the family. Another girl who was into anime and dressed like it has a very rich family and always gets what she wants but her parents never spend time with them. The second girl is a junior soon to be senior and has been my best friend since I was 8 and she was 5. Its definately a high school thing because usually in middle school kids are still trying their best to fit in with the popular kids.

Wow, I'm not sure what kind of highschool you go to but there are a fair amount of people that dress very differently here, it is most certainly highschool behavior.

Who are you (or anyone else) to judge and say it's weird? It's different, but whats wrong with being unique.

Things that make you go....hmmmmmm.

Well, each to their own, but scratching her? That's going a little far. Yes it's different and if that's what she really wants to do then fine, but I wouldn't call it being unique. Under the costume she's just an ordinary person. I'm pretty sure it's not necessary to help her be a good person.

I'm also quite surprised that no-one's (teachers) told her to stop wearing it. If anyone at my school dressed as a cat they would be thrown out on their backside before they even got through the door.

She should be allowed to wear whatever she's most comfortable in as long as she's not hurting anyone. She shouldn't be allowed to scratch people though, that's going too far.

I graduated 6 years ago. There were a lot of people who dressed as vampires in my school when I was in 9th and 10th grade. They all wore capes, fangs, and face paint. They never caused any trouble, they were all really nice. There was 1 girl who was really small and she carried a coffin-shaped purse, she was the cutest little thing and one of the sweetest people in the school.

When I was in 11th and 12th grade the school no longer allowed anyone to wear certain things. We were no longer allowed to wear an all or mostly black outfit. Justin once got in trouble for wearing dark blue jeans with a black shirt that had a Bible verse on the front. They said his jeans were too dark and looked almost black.

The year after I graduated the school got even more strict on their dress code. You had to wear shirts with sleeves. You could have no visible tattoos and visible piercing were limited. They even put a restriction on shoes. Kids had to wear their shirt tucked in with a belt, that was the rule, it was mandatory. It got way out of hand.

That's what would happen at my school! She probably wants attention because she doesn't get any at home. I know people like that... but not people who dress up as an animal.
